Comment on FTP Must Dieparent

Comments

SSH is a pain to secure properly, and the potential for mischief is huge. There is no sudo in FTP.

It's straightforward to permit SSH access but not shell logins.... if you can administer user and group settings. I guess stuff like scponly (http://freecode.com/projects/scponly) is useless if you're running Windows server-side.

Not that I'd like to encourage it, but there could be a sudo in FTP, along the lines of WU-FTPd's infamous support for a "SITE EXEC" command.
